Rules Engine
The rules engine is the configuration-driven core that checks your shot data and symptoms against sport-specific target windows to identify the best-fitting pattern.
Because the rules are explicit and version-controlled, the result is repeatable and inspectable — you can see which window a value fell outside of and why that mattered. The rules engine is what makes deterministic intelligence possible, and it is segmented by sport and skill level so the same value is judged against the right benchmark.
Example
A driver spin of 3,400 rpm falls outside the optimal window in the rules engine, which flags it with the exact threshold it crossed.

- Deterministic IntelligenceDeterministic intelligence is analysis that follows explicit, written rules, so the same inputs always produce the same answer and you can trace exactly why.
- BenchmarkA benchmark is a reference value that defines acceptable or optimal performance for a given metric, used to judge your data against the right standard for your sport and skill level.
- Heuristic EngineThe heuristic engine is the deterministic, rules-based part of SwingVantage that runs first on every analysis — no external AI call required.
